Just went to labour in Dindaeng to have my WP processed. I am not sure if this is a new rule but they said it is. So once you have NON-B, you have to process your WP not more than a month or else your WP expires same as your NON- B visa (90 days) then it needs to be renewed.

So in my case, I got my NON-B on June 13 and expires on Sept. 10 (90 days as usual) this year and my contract ends on April 31 next year. Just processed my WP yesterday and they said my WP will expire on Sept. 10 and my WP needs to be renewed once done with my visa extension in Chaengwattana. Usually, staff from Labour will base whatever is written in your contract. If your contract ends next year then your wp expires next year.

Now, I have to pay twice at Labour. 750 baht until September 10 and another 3,000 baht until April 31.
Answer summary
The user shares an experience regarding new regulations at the Labour Department in Dindaeng, stating that if one holds a NON-B visa, they must process their Work Permit (WP) within 90 days, or both the WP and NON-B visa will expire. The user received their NON-B visa on June 13, which is valid until September 10, and processed the WP on August 29, which will also expire on the same date, requiring renewal aligned with their visa extension. Additionally, there are fees associated with this process.

and while it is indeed an interesting topic what it's NOT is a thai VISA question or topic.
